Seagulls Sink Magpies in Redemption Battle

Brighton had revenge on the brain coming into Sunday's Premier League clash against Newcastle, who beat the Seagulls twice last season and just nipped in front of them to win the Championship crown by a single point.

After a goalless first half, Hemed showed smart reactions to swipe home Dale Stephens' header back across goal from a free-kick in the 51st minute. Squawka outlined his preference for scoring at the Amex:

The Seagulls were under the cosh for a lot of the second half and found chances through the likes of Matt Ritchie, Ayoze Perez and Joselu, but manager Rafa Benitez never saw the end product come together.

Match of the Day illustrated just how dominant the Magpies were in their attempts to find a late leveller, albeit futile in the end:

If this was a match for either one of these promoted parties to prove they belonged in the Premier League, many might agree neither outfit really stood out as much more deserving than the other.

Nevertheless, Brighton managed to do what they were unable to in this fixture last season and held onto their 1-0 lead until the final whistle, having leaked late goals to Mohamed Diame and Perez in February.

A valuable win it was for manager Chris Hughton, too, as Brighton move above the likes of Everton and Leicester City and up four places to 13th, level on points with Arsenal at least until they host West Bromwich Albion on Monday.

The Amex Stadium unsurprisingly erupted at full time as Brighton sealed their second win and a second clean sheet of the Premier League campaign, although a trip to Arsenal next Sunday will test their will once again.
